Otehei Bay - Explore NZ

Northland’s ultimate island destination. Otehei Bay, situated on the gorgeous Urupukapuka Island, is a beautifully unique destination that you must see for yourself. The rich history of Otehei Bay dates back to pre-European times when Maori lived on the island. It was also a destination for the rich and famous, hosting the Zane Grey fishing competitions. Nowadays, Otehei Bay is an idyllic destination for all to enjoy. The island is also the base for a lot of conservation work – thanks to the help of Project Island Song and DOC – that ensures the successful release of native bird life back into their surroundings. It’s unbelievable that this island paradise is only a 40min Explore ferry ride from Paihia or Russell.

Mount Gay Rum

The yachties favourite. The place of birth was Barbados in 1703, the oldest rum in the world, an icon amongst the race sailing community worldwide. There is such a selection of this fine quality rum available at Hancocks, well worth a look at the website – well worth savouring as an after-race nip.
